With the sweltering summer heat lately, I noticed my facial pores starting to expand one by one. What perfect timing! I participated in the Age R Friends event and was rewarded with the Medicube Zero Pore One-Day Serum. So here I am with my review! Although the packaging has been updated now, the slightly glossy material (rather than matte) feels great in hand. The airless pump bottle design is a major plus, allowing for hygienic use every time. Texture & Feel: The serum has a thin, translucent consistency. It absorbs quickly into the skin upon application, leaving a fresh finish without any stickiness. This makes it perfect for summer use! Before using it, I was concerned about blackheads around my nose and enlarged pores. After use, I felt like my skin looked a bit more refined. I noticed an immediate smoothing effect, making it great to use before applying makeup. Serum Pros: 1. High concentration (15.2%) of pore-care ingredients including AHA, BHA, and PHA 2. Noticeably effective in smoothing dead skin cells 3. Skin texture remains smooth even the next day 4. Fresh finish without stickiness, ideal for summer use 5. Luxurious exterior design with a hygienic pump bottle Serum Cons: 1. The thin consistency makes it difficult to control the amount dispensed and prone to dripping 2. May cause a tingling sensation for sensitive skin, so caution is needed for first-time use 3. Due to strong exfoliating ingredients, recommended use is 2-3 times a week rather than daily Repurchase Intention (5-star rating): 5 out of 5 stars Yes, I'd like to keep this product on hand for periodic exfoliation and sebum care. Rather than daily use, I found it extremely satisfying as an intensive care product for days when my skin feels particularly rough or makeup doesn't apply well. However, it's important to note that understanding the application method and texture characteristics is crucial for achieving good results!
Cons1. The thin consistency makes it difficult to control the amount dispensed and prone to dripping 2. May cause a tingling sensation for sensitive skin, so caution is needed for first-time use 3. Due to strong exfoliating ingredients, recommended use is 2-3 times a week rather than daily
TipWhile the pump bottle design is great for hygiene, the thin consistency of the product means that even a slightly firm pump can cause the serum to drip excessively. It can be a bit tricky to control the amount, and I often ended up dispensing too much at once. I'll let you in on a secret - there were times when I tried to dispense it onto the back of my hand, only to have it drip all the way to the floor. When using this product, I recommend dispensing small amounts directly onto your skin and spreading it quickly!

I was particularly surprised by how the blackhead areas around my nose became smoother. Light and fresh feel With its water-like texture, it absorbs quickly and pairs well with other skincare products. It's not heavy, making it great for summer use. Gentle use without causing blemishes Despite being an AHA/BHA product, there was minimal tingling or irritation. Even with my super sensitive skin, using it every other day didn't cause significant irritation or redness. Note: For sensitive skin, initially recommended for use every other day!
ConsDead skin cell and sebum care effects aren't immediate As a pore serum, I didn't expect much, but it focuses more on pore refinement than exfoliation. Thick or stubborn dead skin cells required separate treatment. Possibility of tingling sensation depending on skin type On sensitive days, I experienced slight tingling. Those with deep dryness should be especially careful when first using. Slight fragrance It's not unscented - there's a subtle fresh scent, which sensitive individuals might want to note.
TipSkin type used: Combination oily & sensitive skin with concerns about pores and skin marks Recommended use: Once daily, during evening skincare routine. On days when skin feels sensitive to exfoliation, use every other day or layer on specific areas. Do not use with toner pads! It may cause irritation. Avoid irritation as much as possible! The key to using this without irritation was finishing with a generous layer of moisturizer.

It's incredibly irritating, makes my face turn red, and drives me crazy. It's awful!
ConsI have sensitive skin, and this product is a disaster. My face feels incredibly tingly and burns, turns bright red, and becomes unbearably itchy. It's absolute chaos! I only applied a small amount, but it made me look like I had severe redness. It's definitely not worth the money. If you're considering this, please don't waste your money and buy something else instead.
TipFor those with super sensitive skin, this product may cause a severe burning sensation and redness. It seems to trigger an allergic reaction even with minimal use. Consider patch testing or looking for gentler alternatives that are specifically formulated for sensitive skin types.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsIt was great for hydration and I saw more effects on my pores than I expected! I tried using it with the pore pads and also just using one ampoule, and using it with the pads definitely showed results faster! At first, it had a flowing sensation, but as it absorbed into my skin, it transformed into a bouncy texture. I love it so much! 💗💗
ConsThe formula has become more viscous, and there is a slightly sticky feeling, so it is not recommended for those who dislike sticky sensations. Sometimes when applying it, there is a stinging sensation, and the next day or a little later, blemishes appear and a slight warmth spreads across the face. In the past, when I used the moisture ampoule, I would apply it before makeup, but if you apply the ampoule when doing makeup, the cosmetics will clump, so you should not apply the ampoule when you need to do your makeup.
TipThis and the Hwahae Pore Zero Pad set were used together, so please use them together. It's so good!💗💗💗💗

ConsThose with sensitive skin might want to avoid this. I'm not sure if it's normal or if I had a reaction, but as soon as I applied it, my skin felt hot and had a tingling sensation

ConsI used it consistently every evening for about 3 months, but lately, on days when my skin feels particularly sensitive, it stings a bit. So now I only use it 2-3 times a week. Also, it feels a bit sticky, unfortunately.
TipWhen applying with your fingers, it's best to use circular motions, gently rolling it onto the skin. Alternatively, using a silicone spatula works well too.

I used this before bed and while it absorbed well, I'm not sure if it's suitable for me.
ConsAfter some time, my skin becomes itchy and tingly. The areas where I applied it - nose, T-zone, and forehead - develop redness and blemishes, almost like an allergic reaction.
TipWhen the redness and blemishes appeared, applying a moisturizer helped alleviate the issue.

Even with atopic skin, it doesn't cause irritation.
ConsIt can be a bit tingling when you first apply it, and the scent isn't particularly pleasant.
TipThe effects are doubled when you apply it after using a microneedle roller, rather than using it alone. Try using them together for best results!

ConsFor sensitive skin, it stings immediately upon application, forcing me to wash it off. Those with sensitive skin should absolutely avoid this
